It’s time for another Snack + Art = SnArt!
This month, we’re going for a very niche craft that I’m surprised hasn’t made a huge comeback yet. With everyone craving nostalgia and cozy cottage vibes, you’d think plastic canvas crafts would be everywhere.
They’re easy to make and give that perfect, whimsical feel that’s all over my social media feed at the moment.
I actually shared a tutorial once, a whole life-time ago, about how to cover a brick with plastic canvas for a doorstopper. Not the most glamorous craft, but I liked it! And I used it for years.
Anyway, here are a few ideas for you incase you want to help me revive this craft.
Thanks for listening to the podcast! If you don’t want to subscribe, but want to support, consider a small, one-time donation. Similar to the “buy me a coffee” buttons, but I don’t drink coffee and would rather wander a thrift store lol. Love you!
